A control-case study conducted in 56 patients, all diagnosed with benign prostate hypertrophy of which 36 were Prazosin-treated patients and the remaining 20 were controls. The patient's mictional signs and symptoms as well as flow parameters were monitored at 3 and 6 months, respectively. We conclude that Prazosin is an alpha-blocker useful in early prostate disorders and when no obstructive urological disease is present.

Forty-five patients diagnosed as having BPH and clinically diagnosed micturition disorders were entered in a therapeutic protocol. Twenty-five patients received Prazosin and the remaining 20 patients were treated with Serenoa Repens for a period of 12 weeks. The symptomatology was assessed by flowmetry and the patients were questioned as to the irritative symptoms. It can be concluded from the study that Prazosin is slightly more effective in controlling the irritative symptoms produced by BPH.

We report a case of spontaneous rupture of renal cysts into the excretory tract, an uncommon complication in cystic disease and a rare finding in cysts of the hilar sinus. We discuss the different hypotheses on its etiopathogenesis. The possible mechanism of multiple spontaneous rupture in this case is described and the diagnostic possibilities are discussed.
